Danieru Sushi is a refined Japanese restaurant located on Lower Sloane Street in Chelsea, one of London's chicest neighbourhoods. A haven for sushi enthusiasts who value top-quality produce and expertly made sushi, this quietly brilliant neighbourhood spot serves up some of the best sushi in the capital.
The restaurant is led by chef and sushi master Kenny, who began his culinary career at just 16 years old. He's spent over 25 years perfecting the craft of sushi-making, paying tribute to the finest quality ingredients and time-honoured techniques to ensure his menus are truly authentic. His signature (and favourite) dish is nigiri, where expertly prepared rice meets the finest cuts of fish to deliver a simple, but deeply delicious, bite.
Danieru Sushi offers both lunch and dinner menus. The former features a selection of sushi sets and comforting rice bowls perfect for midday dining. For example, the 'salmon lover set' includes salmon sashimi, salmon nigiri, salmon avocado roll, miso soup and a crisp salad - a light but complete meal rolled into one easy option.
For dinner, the menu evolves into a more extensive offering, featuring a la carte dishes, sushi and nigiri sets, as well as an omakase tasting menu with an optional sake pairing for a truly special experience. Highlights include tuna tataki with spicy miso dressing and ponzu sauce, unagi dragon rolls featuring prawn tempura, eel, unagi sauce and shredded filo, and California mango rolls with spicy mayo snow crab. You'll also find a sashimi, nigiri and tempura selection, while hot dishes include black miso cod, duck breast with pink peppercorn sauce, and sweet chicken teriyaki.
For a more immersive experience, the omakase menu - available by advance booking with 24 hours’ notice - invites diners to place their trust in the chef’s hands, enjoying a bespoke tasting journey that showcases the full scope of Kenny's culinary expertise.
The interior of the restaurant reflects the elegance and restraint of Japanese design, with a warm, minimalist aesthetic and an intimate atmosphere. Seating is limited, ensuring a calm and attentive dining experience with a strong focus on personal service.
